Explore the foundations of geometry in this 90-minute lecture on Affine and Euclidean Geometry, presented as part of the Warsaw4PhD Doctoral School series. Delve into the modern approach to these fundamental geometric concepts, essential for understanding theoretical physics. Led by Professor Jerzy Kijowski from the Center for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, this talk serves as an introduction to Electrodynamics and the Theory of Relativity. Gain valuable insights into the mathematical underpinnings that shape our understanding of space, time, and the physical world.
